Townes Van Zandt

His third album recorded in '69/'70. If like me you've found some of the studio albums a bit over produced and prefer the live versions of some of his songs then you might be into this one 'cos its a bit more stripped down and melancholic. This could arguably be his best album or in the mans own words... "serious songs to make the mind work".
